Esquel hotels

Pros: The service and food was excellent! Top of the line!

Pros: Very warm welcome by the nice and friendly owner and staff, great hospitality! The accomodation and location were wonderful. The meals were excellent, prepared with love and care. Wonderful hospitality and atmosphere which made us feel comfortable instantly. We wish that we could have stayed longer...

Cons: The 6km long gravel access road is a bit of a challenge.

Pros: It is an expectacular place on an unbelievable location. The dinner is really expectacular.

Pros: Location is excellent. The lodge is beautiful and welcoming. The views of the lake and the surrounding mountains are astounding. Andres will make you feel like you are at home, and the chef Paulo will serve you amazing food.

Pros: Astonishing food; the chef is a major talent. Welcoming and charismatic host. Idyllic setting. Fabulous decor. Exceptional atmosphere and quality.

Cons: Nothing. This is a perfect place to stay. A gem. Unique.

Pros: Beautiful view, excellent dinner with delicious wine! The place deserves to stay a couple of days to enjoy this amazing national park.

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful. The surrounds and environment were beautiful. The chef at the lodge was excellent !

Cons: Our only complaint would be that they were doing construction on site while we were there. So, it wasn’t quite the peace and quiet we had hoped for with chain saws and hammering going on during the day.

Pros: The location is simply stunning. Food largely exceeds expectations and Andres is the best host one could look for - I certainly plan to come back !

Pros: The chef at this lodge is excellent! View of Lake and mountains also wonderful. Rustic but very comfortable. Nice place to get away.

Cons: They are doing construction on the property and the constant sound of chain saws and hammering kind of ruins the atmosphere.

Pros: Amazing location Host and chef were wonderful. Great food, great service on a unique location. Defiantly a must-go!

Pros: The property is located in the beautiful countryside, 3 miles away from Esquel. The room was clean, big, quiet and the bed very comfortable. Here it is like being at home. Rini, the host, is very helpful and tells a lot of interesting stories about local life. Highly recommended.

Cons: Nothing. The only recommendation is to rent a car as there are no restaurants or other stores within walking distance. The national park is more than 30 minutes driving from the property. We got there by taxi but soon realized that we needed to rent a car and Rini helped us rent one.

Pros: The owner Rinni was an excellent host. Spoke Welsh, Spanish and English. The breakfasts all home cooked were amazing. Extremely helpful regarding restaurants and places of interest. Every Welsh person visiting Esquel should stay here. A living legend. Come and practice your Welsh and learn a bit of Spanish. More importantly the history of the Welsh settlers in Patagonia

Pros: Lovely owners who were very kind and shared suggestions of things to do around town. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and located in a quiet residential area, yet still just a few blocks away from the centre of town.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful owners and a lovely garden

Pros: Very comfortable and clean. The owners Mr and Mrs Williams were very helpful

Pros: Very nice area. 5 minutes drive to the center of the village. Nice pool.

Cons: Room is upstairs while bathroom is downstairs. Looks like in the bigger cabins it is not that way.

Pros: What not to like about this place... The resort is set a bit out of town in a new leafy chic estate development. It was quite easy to find even without a gps... There’s a private parking onsite and you will receive a clicker to open the gate which makes the place secure. We had a lovely on bedroom bungalow with the bedroom on the first floor and a door window opening onto a small balcony. Big comfortable bed. Lots of storage if you stay here more than a day or two. The all space, even if relatively compact, is very well organised and furnished. There’s two comfy armchairs overlooking the garden and a big open fireplace (we didn’t need it in February but it might be a must in the winter). There’s a normal size worktop in the kitchen (a rarity in most of the self catering place we stayed) and the kitchen itself is well equipped. Th swimming pool was a blessing with those hot summer temperatures... The staff is amazingly friendly, helpful and welcoming. We also had our laundry done at a very reasonable price. The only downside of Ayelen Andina might be the situation, really out of town, but as we were self catering, it was not a problem for us. And anyway, when driving around the Lake District as we did, the important is the journey, not the destination.

Pros: everything is really good

Pros: Lounge area.

Cons: The bed was very uncomfortable. We had to organise a 50% pre-payment and we didn't know until after we booked. Booking.com should tell you this.

Pros: Friendly check in. Nice big bed with lovely linen.

Cons: The bathroom was unheated so very cold! Didn't really offer value for money especially as hosts weren't there for the entire stay. Such a shame!

Pros: The accomodations were top notch and my wife and I had the opportunity to speak with the owner (who speaks excellent English) who is extemely knoweldegable about the area and its history. If you get the chance ask him about the Welsh influence and sheep ranching in the region. Bring along a great bottle of wine and relax in front of warm and inviting fire place. This is a top notch place to stay while in Esquel.

Cons: Internet speed could be faster

Pros: breakfast was nice

Cons: The bed was hard Came home at 9.30pm to have a shower and the water had been turned off—came back on at 7.00am in the morning— Luckywe were not that dirty!! Unbelievable No credit card facility Light on the outside on all night

Pros: The staff was really friendly (helped us a lot throughout some issues we had on the trip), the room was very unique (big, cozy and typical) and the breakfast was good (fresh products).

Cons: Only the location (you might need to take a taxi/remis to go to the center).

Pros: Inmidst the wonderful smell of conifers - tastefully decorated b&b , owners with a „ history „ father was a settler and established an estancia and they wrote a book about that

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Owner was very helpful and sociable.

Pros: The breakfast was the best so far on our trip. It was amazing

Cons: Dark cramped room

Pros: Breakfast was very good as well as the room, Carlos, I assume the owner was very pleasant and helpful, the lady in charge of breakfast was also very nice

Cons: The room had a computer table with two chairs but no outlet in sight, easily solved by an extension, asked for one but it was not available. Ended up working on line with the computer on the extra bedroom in front of the TV. WiFi was marginal...

Cons: Be aware. We had a very unpleasant experience with dealing with the reception desk. Upon check-in I offered my passport, and the staff person wasn't interested, and indicated it would be dealt with at checkout. At check out another staff person said I had to give them a copy of my passport and credit card (which my card company advises against). I agreed but then was told they don't have a copy machine, and I had to provide it myself. We needed to leave to meet our guide but I reluctantly headed out to find a copy machine. After losing an hour I hadn't found a copy machine, early on a weekend morning, and without language skills. I returned to the hotel without copies (except I took a photo of the documents and emailed them to them), so they refused to let me pay with a credit card and wouldn't honor the rate promised in my booking.com reservation. Either travel with your own copy machine, or don't stay here, especially if you don't speak Spanish.

Pros: Owner and host turned out to be a very interesting person. It was a pleasure talking to him and following his advices; he's a gourmet with an special taste for quality products of any kind. He's got a couple of fridges filled with an excellent collection of imported and national beers and sparkling wines thought for those occasions when guests get back after a beautiful long day touring the area. Location is ideal, there's private parking,bedroom was always impecable.

Cons: Plumbery could be improved for better quality;a flaw throughout south america

Pros: The room was a bit small, as was the shower. But the breakfast was the best we’ve had in Argentina. Also the innkeeper has a world class supply of beers, sparkling wines and a wine cellar with a great selection.

Pros: Small hotel interesting helpful owner

Cons: - Poor cleanliness - Carpet in 'twin' room threadbare, chewing gum and other substances trodden into carpet - Curtains stained - Leak in bathroom, only thing holding back the water was a wine cork - Overall decor was poorly maintained and probably made the whole place look dirtier than it possibly was - Smelt strongly of food, seeped into entire house - No locks on doors and everyone slept with their doors open? Maybe this is common in other hostels? - Overpriced

Pros: Location

Cons: Run down poorly maintained

Pros: We had a few complaints in the end they kind of solved it.

Cons: The staff did not speak any English, nor were they trying to understand you. Furthermore, the heather in the hotel was on very high (around 30 degrees c), when we asked if it could be turned down, it was not possible since it was a central heating system. In addition we did not have wifi in the room which was promised by the hotel. Since, we could not stand the fabricated heat and did not have wifi in the room we were allocated to a different room. This room was way bigger and did have wifi and was a bit colder (like 3 degrees c). So in the end they kind of solved our problem.

Pros: The staff was very friendly, the cleaning of the room daily with new towels etc. I had a nice and spacious room with a window to the street. As people in Esquel like very loud cars and motorbikes it was quite noisy but o.k. The bathroom was o.k. as well. Of course it's not 5 star but considering the price very much o.k. and I would come back.

Cons: There was only one very old run down soccet to charge my phone. Even with support it was hard to keep things together and charge the phone. The tv is a joke, it's a tiny little ancient one but there are much better things to do in Esquel then watch tv.
